They've been out every day since the start of the war. The amount of tankers continues to increase as well.

The fact that Zalenski demands them to get out of Crimea is badass. That dude gets it. I wish we could elect him president of the US.

Look at their performance.
Nukes may be the only effective deterrent they can use.

When all you have is a hammer, everything becomes a nail.

Nukes are like a firearm for countries, an equalizer.

It is like a firearm that gives grandma the ability to kill a home invader. Russia may lack an effectively organized military it seems, but they can till smoke us with nukes. They may think it's worth it to strike first all things considered if they feel cornered. Putin may view NATO as an existential threat and do things we are not prepared for or desire.

These Russians have no training and would still drive right into it probably. They've got 18 year old kids that aren't evening shaving yet. Shooting fish in a barrel

Russians operate with a zero-sum mentality. If they lose, they won't let the other win. Putin being crazy and KGB makes it all the worse.

Phone recovered from a presumably dead Russian soldier with conversation with his mom. She asks if he's still in school in Crimea and he tells her he's not in school, he's killing civilians in Ukraine. He says they were told they'd be welcomed as liberators but civilians are throwing themselves under their vehicles to stop them and are calling them fascists.

If the Russian gov kidnapped and forced these kids into war telling them they cant tell their families anything.

Why do they have phones ??? I'm just a lowly tech Tard can someone explain this to me.


Don't believe everything on the internet. Smells like some pro-Ukrainian propaganda to me.
"Gee thanks man." Tard rolls eyes.

The fact that people cant see it as propaganda is very disconcerning


I've stopped posting videos of POWs or KIAs but there are lots of videos out there of POWs calling home to tell mom and dad to try and stop the war. Please understand the difference in understanding what is and isn't propaganda, and sharing what is happening in the war. Of course the image I shared is propaganda. It's directly from the Ukrainian government. But I believe seeing it is useful just like knowing that we created the myth in WW2 that carrots made out pilots eyes superior to Germans (when in fact we had defeated the enigma.

What I read earlier was that Russia was using conscripts who were told they were going to the border or Crimea for maneuvers or training. In that same article, it mentioned that by Russian law conscripts could not be sent into battle, only volunteers. I think they're only in national guard like units or something.

He's not "crazy". He incorrectly thought Ukraine would be a cake walk.

He understands weakness and strength. That is why he invaded Crimea under Obama and Ukraine under Biden. There are pissant nations all over the place giving Ukraine weapons right now. If you were right, then why isn't he nuking them now? Do you seriously think that he would refrain from nuking them but then decide to nuke US if we provide him drones? You guys can't be serious?

The Barents and Norwegian seas are about to become very busy by the looks of it. I'd imagine we and the Brits have quite a few assets in this area now for obvious reasons.

Because Putin is all in on this and it's not going well for him. Couple that with statements from folks that have personally talked and dealt with him in the past stating he isn't the same man and something appears off.
So we have an angry, apparently unstable man who is losing a war and possibly his position at the head of the table which could cost him his life that is in charge of nukes.

The Swiss don't want to be on the wrong side of history here. It's simply incredible what has happened over the last couple days. A European continent that we all expected to be passive and standby while a sovereign nation was swallowed is standing up in the face of a facist dictator and committing the resources to support a non Nato member. I never thought I'd see the day

Definitely looks like Grad strikes in urban civilian areas. First videos out are bad.

This escalated again but not to a point I think NATO does anything militarily. This happened in 2014 as well and nothing happened then either. But maybe with so many eyes on this conflict now.....who knows.

Russia has always maintained a heavy fires doctrine. This is natural to them. The Ukes may start being reluctant in taking prisoners.....and so it goes.

No, it's because the EU has a total monopoly on Swiss movement outside of their borders, and imports/exports.
That's how the EU got the Swiss to "back" tighter gun control laws, by threatening to cut them off from the rest of the world.

Anyways, regarding the cyberwar...

Man, I REALLY like the Poles. They are some hard people.

I do want to point out this is exactly why Russia wouldn't want Ukraine in NATO. This point, I get. I think they could have easily prevented it a different way because strategically, it makes perfect sense.

The GRADs hitting civilians is a major chapter change IMO. They were doing everything to minimize colatteral damage and that seems to have stopped. Surprisingly, admittedly, their advance to that point had been handled with kid gloves. They thought they had an easy victory and that has passed.

CNN on tv (I know, don't judge. I usually watch Fox but they had ex-prez of Ukraine on) reporting peace talks as a 3 mile convoy of Russian tanks are headed to Kyiv at the exact same time. Also bombs down on Kharkiv

That's speaks more than what is happening in that meeting.

I wonder if Putin has a grasp of what we are seeing? Perhaps those around him are afraid to report the losses?
